Grief is not lack of faith. Jesus wept (Jn 11:35) and then he acted.\n\n(A Narrow Highway original teaching parable — not a parable of Jesus; a made story that carries a true edge.)", "source": {"label": "Narrow Highway — original parable", "url": "", "ref": "scripture_jn_11_35", "authority_tier": "operator"}, "shelf": "codex", "box": "parables", "bands": ["parable", "original", "witness", "teaching", "time_sequence", "metabolism", "GOD"], "connections": [], "author": "operator", "created_at": "2026-07-10T21:00:05.284658+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-10T21:00:05.284658+00:00", "visibility": "public", "lifecycle_stage": "public", "volatility": "permanent", "surface": "witness", "metrics": {"paperclips_count": 0, "helpful_count": 0, "not_helpful_count": 0, "cite_count": 0, "walks_through_count": 0, "flagged_count": 0}, "source_hash": "bbe5e0c494af6c031d24e8503ac35ba26a4cc9829bc46c804239a470e3a40d19"}
